The case Of Prof. w. III. Council
against the Western & Atlantic railroad
had hearing before the Interstate
commission last week The attorney
OF the DAD with characteristic gall in
deavored to throw out the complaint
upon the ground on the lack of iuris-
diction. but the chairman over ruled
the objection stating that the charges
were of unjust discrimination against a
class of citizens. Both sides submitted
printed briefs and the hearing ended.
There is one point in the compliments
brief, which we do not like, and that is,
that it admits the right of classification
on the color line, but maintains that it
the duty Of the railroad to equal facili-
ties for both races. If this rule prevails
there will be little Or no relief obtained
and the same old odious distinctions
will be observed. Thousands of men
both colored and white invariably ride
in the smoking car from choice because
they wish to be free and easy and in,
dulge in smoking, but there are some
who can not be comfortable in such
quarters, and there are some colored
ladies with as delicate physical organic
atoms and as refined feminine tastes as
any of the sex can claim and it is abso-
lutely inhuman to force such into the
companship of the class of men who US
ually are found there.

try? he has never yet succeeded in
any great achievement which wins
lasting name. 1t may be said therefore
that his drawing power is in the posi-
ton he bolds-he is President 1t is
the simple fact of his holding high
Office that the people have come hum
dreds of miles to see him. ALI classes
Of persons have pressed to see the man
of political good fortune. The public
schools have left their studies in d
body to see, if only the car in which
the President rides. This gratifies
curiosity and is harmless, unless it
educates young minds to pay homage,
in imitation of foreign customs. In
stead of only man to be seen by the
children, if there had been a Numidian
lion, or Bengal tiger, or an elephant,
it would have been an instructive
lesson in natural history. But only a
man, who of his kind can be seen on
the street any day, the lesson is not
adapted to make wise.

THE PRESIDENT AND MRS.
CLEVELAND.

The statement was given last week
in the TELEGRAPH of the elaborate
preparations which had been made to
welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland to
worship in Grace Episcopal church,
Madison, last Sunday. That part of
the programme which allowed admis-
sion into the church only by card gave
50 much dissatisfaction it was aban-
doned. But the arrangement for the
decoration and ornamentation of the
church was carried out to its fullest
extent. A large concOurse of people
gathered, more than to fill the church ;
the newspaper reporters were assigned
a proper place. The rector had pre-
pared fitting sermon, and the music
was we'll trained. The hour of begin
ming the service came, but Mr.. Cleve-
land and wife did not put in their ap-
pearance. The congregation (corre-
spondents say looked disappointed,
and many angry. The services closed,
people dispersed anda#ent away, in.
dulging in various criticisms. The
reason assigned by-ME- Cleveland and
wife for not appearing at church was
the threatening aspect of the weather.
The President and party left on Mon
day for st. Paul.

same hat and clothes for series of
years; he formed an attachment for his
old hat and coat, and disliked to part
with them, quite as much as with his
old friends and acquaintance. He
chung to his worn wearing apparel, be-
cause he had sort of an affection for it,
and not because he had not the money
to purchase something new. In many
countries the calling OF the nan or
woman is known by the dress. In this
country dress is not an Indication of
the calling and standing of AMMAN or
woman; it d, es not determine the
grade of society nor the wealth of the
individual. Not unfrequently the
kitchen maid in a well.to-do family
will dress on Sunday or on some pub
lie occasion as well as her employer,
and to stranger she might easily be
taken for the mistress of the house.
In the school room it would be difficult
to select children of the people in good
circumstances from those who are
really poor, but shun the appearance
of poverty. It is charged that the peo-
pie spend too much for dress, and are
thereby cultivating a spirit of extrav-
agance, which will ultimately ruin
the cOuntry-that to encourage boys
and girls to dress well, without regard
to the circumstances of their parents,
is demoralizing to the young. Much
of this is to be doubted. In this coun-
try we are not building up classes. The
nation demands good deal Of every
boy and girl and of every man and
woman. Every individual is expected
to do his or her best. Every little in
cident of life contributes to the deyel-
opment of the citizen. It is as COM
mendable for the poor boy who slaves
day after day on small wages to dress
well as for the man whose money comes
to him without effort. It is still, more
commendable if the boy should exhibit
as much or more taste than the more
fortunate man; it is greatly to his
credit, and he ought to be encouraged
in the development along that line. If
girl or woman slaves with the needle
or at other employment to crafty
taste and contribute to her own pleas
ureby so doing, she isstakingsa step in
the right direction? 1t mast be re-
membered that public opinion does not
contemplate condition in which
either man or woman shall remain in
"a quiescent state. The spirit of Ameri-
can life demands ofievery individual
a movement of some kind through
some process towards ahigher plane
This is not mere sentiment: it is d
practicable question in the. gdevelop-
meLt of the people. .ssrzc:

PENSIONS AND PATRIOTISM.

We acknowledge the receipt of the
annual report of the Commissioner of
Pensions for 1887. 1t contains much
valuable information in respect to the
comparative patriotism of the different
states in the Union in furnishing men
for the war. Wisconsin stands in the
front rank in responding to the call for
men to save the Republic. The report
shows that the number of men fur
nished from Wisconsin from April Is,
1861, to the close of the war was 81 1921
When it is considered that this was at a
period when the population of the state
was much less than at present. it ex-
hibitS a spirit of patriotism and de.
votion to country unsurpassed in any
civilized nation in past centuries. The
government made liberal provision for
the soldiers who survived the war and
were wounded. The number of PEN
sioners in Kenosha county at the date
of the report in June last, was so, to
whom was paid for the last quarter
1924. The whole number on the pen
sion roll in the state is 1880, to whom
was paid for the quarter ending June
Sd $409,4S2. The report shows there
were few Union men furnished from
some of the Southern states. Georgia,
South Carolina and Virginia did not
furnish a single man for the Union
army.

SHOULD ANARCHISTS BE
EXPELLED.

The anarchists, whose presence in
this country is constant source of an
nOyance, and who are the avowed
enemies of our institutions of govern
ment, ought to be gotten out of the
way. By public speeches in halls and
on the streets, and through the press
under their control, they are industri-
Ously disseminating their disloyal prin-
ciples. That the teachings of the an
archists tend to violence has been wit
messed in Chicago and other cities.
The peace and safety of at least por-
tions of this country demands that
these disturbers should not be toler-
ated. Many of this class Of persons,
having been frustrated in their revo-
lutionary plans in their own country,
have fed to this; in hopes of being
more successful in their unlawful pur-
poses. 1t is true this country holds
out to the world an asylum for the op-
pressed Of all nations, and protects the
freedom of speech and the press; but,
as has been repeatedly declared, there
are limitations to free speech and
press. If 1t were not so, there would
be no peace and safety to society
There has been too much forbearance.
Take the case of Johann Most, known
on both sides of the Atlantic, WHO, hav-
ing served a term in an English prison,
came to this country and established a
paper in New York, where he has
been advocating the revolutionary doc
trines in the interest of the extreme
anarchists and sowing the seeds of dis
sention and hostility to our American
institutions. He has often been threat
ened with arrest, but continues to es-
cape the punishment he deserves. But
is there no legal remedy for silencing
such persons? A writer in the Inter-
Ocean last week gives the opinion of
eminent jurists. and cites the-Geclara-
ton of prominent Secretaries of State
who have conducted our diplomatic
relations with foreign governments.
Among these are Blaine, Everett,
Freylinghusen and others of equal
authority. Secretary Everett said:
This country could never give up the
right of excluding foreigners whose
presence we deem a source of danger
to the United States" Secretary Fish
in his correspondence said: "The
power to exclude obnoxious foreigners
Is one incident to sovereignty" The
opinions expressed by all the Secre-
saries at different periods was the same
IN substance. 1t would be indeed
strange if our government had no
power to protect itself against insidi-.
,us enemies and traitors, who areI
plotting for the overthrow of our
American institutions.

WARMER LATITUDES.

There is a gradual increase every fall
season of the year of the number of
people who 60 to California, Florida
and other milder ATTITUDES to spend the
winter. More individuals and families
in this vicini y and elsewhere in the
North have gone or are preparing to
go South this year than last. The
facilities for travelling have increased
and the expenses reduced. The cost
of going to California and other desir-
able winter resorts is less than previous
years. 1t is as natural that many
people should desire a milder climate
in the winter months as it is for the
birds to escape the rigors of northern
latitude. Many contrivances for
warming houses during cold weather
have added to comfort, but science has
never yet nor never will discover a
method for controlling the tempe ra-
ture of the atmosphere. The winter
seasons are not uniformly cold, but
long years have demonstrated that our
winter months are not exempt from
cold. This will always be SO unless
the order of nature should be changed,
which is not calculated. The mercury
in the thermometer will indicate heat
and cold in coming years as in the past.

THE CHURCHES FOR PROHI-
BITION.

The Wisconsin Congregational Con-
vention at Whitewater, the Methodist
Conference at Appleton, and the Bap-
fist State Convention at La Crosse have
in effect declared for Prohibition.
The Congregationalists passed resolu-
tions welcoming all efforts for the
suppression of the liquor traffic, and
declaring that Prohibition is the final
ity. The Methodists passed resolutions
squarely in favor of Prohibition. The
Baptists passed resolutions endorsing
Prohibition, and strongly intimating
that if political parties required the
support of the christian churches they
must receive it. It was once said that
temperance must not be carried into
politics. but it is already in, and is like
ly to stay until this momentous ques-
ton is disposed of. The liquor dealers
took it into the political arena, and
now must abide the consequences.

from the word of Jesus, 81 am the
bread which came down from heaven"
What bread is was interestingly dis
coursed upon, showing the multiplied
and various operations necessary to its
production and the various vital forces
which call it into being. How the body
would grow weak and finally perish
we're the staff of life withheld, and how
the spiritual nature declines and dies
wnen it is not nourished by spiritual
food was vigorously set forth. The Rev.
gentleman viii occupy the pulpit again
next Sunday morning. At the close of
the services the church and society will
take action in regard to the future sup
ply of the pulpit.
Nature has changed her lovely dress
of green for the varied and beautiful
tints of autumn. One can delight his
soul to the full with the loneliness of
roadside and wood. The wild vine is
tlnged with its thousand shades of pur-
pie and green. The sumach is ablaze
with its rich blood red, the butternut
and popple are mass of quiet golden
yellow, and the woods present an end
less variety of changing tints.
